Of course it matters....

I just read something that said 70% of the world's poor are female. That figure alone should make every woman realize that becoming powerful matters. Power is being able to do what you want to do, make things happen that need to happen, that YOU need to happen. It's not a dirty word. It's not something evil to be avoided. To be powerful means you can do what needs to be done. To be power hungry means to want to accomplish what you want to accomplish. Building power is something anyone can do: organize people and organize money, and the more people you gather together, the more money you can gather as well. Getting the right number of people and money together will guarantee you can make something great happen.
If more women were power hungry and gave time to building up relationships with other power hungry women and everyone gathered together the few dollars they had, maybe that 70% figure could be cut. Deeply.
